The partnership research model aims to promote change in society for people with disabilities by supporting research teams composed of researchers and partner organizations. The objective of this article is to identify the strengths and limitations of this research model. An autoethnography approach was used. Thematic analysis of four methods was undertaken: semi-directed interviews with members of the research teams funded by (researchers, partners), a focus group with the 's intersectoral collaboration agents, their logbooks, and 's annual reports. Strengths and limitations of the model were identified through their networking activities, the role and support of the intersectoral collaboration agents and the partnership research program. Networking activities are an essential element of . They are indispensable for composing intersectoral research teams that will work on answering needs of people with disabilities. Intersectoral collaboration agents are also a strength of the model, but their role could be clarified to better frame what tasks are in their scope of practice and what the research teams could ask from them. Finally, the research program eligibility criteria could be improved to support, among others, the projects' appropriation phases.
伙伴关系研究模式旨在通过支持由研究人员和伙伴组织组成的研究团队，促进残疾人社会的变革。本文的目的是确定该研究模式的优势和局限性。采用自传体方法。对以下四种方法进行了主题分析：与 （研究人员、合作伙伴）资助的研究团队成员进行半结构化访谈、与 的跨部门合作代理进行焦点小组讨论、他们的日志以及 的年度报告。通过伙伴关系研究模式的网络活动、跨部门合作代理的角色和支持以及伙伴关系研究计划，确定了该模式的优势和局限性。网络活动是 的一个重要组成部分。它们对于组成跨部门研究团队至关重要，这些团队将致力于满足残疾人的需求。跨部门合作代理也是该模式的优势之一，但可以明确他们的角色，以更好地界定他们的工作范围以及研究团队可以向他们提出的要求。最后，可以改进研究计划的资格标准，以支持项目的拨款阶段等。
